Any of the many tracks located in the area. Te Anau isn't called the walking capital of the world for no reason! The major tracks that can be started from the surrounding area include: Kepler Track, Routeburn Track and Milford Track.
Only a short walk from downtown, the Te Anau Wildlife Centre provides the unique opportunity to view some of New Zealand's rarest endangered birds. Be sure to see the Takahe, a large flightless bird with beautiful blue plumage and an enormous red beak. With only 225 Takahe left in New Zealand, this is perhaps your only opportunity to see this majestic bird.
Don't miss out on going to Milford Sound, taking a cruise, and enjoying the scenic wonderland. For once its probably better to take a bus, they don't rush it and you get good quality commentary.
Take a day walk somewhere - Lake Marrion for example. If you don't have gear you can hire it from Bev's Tramping Gear Hire.
Adventure sports! Kayaking, climbing, skydiving, jetboating + lots more is all in Te Anau.
